Produces a structured vendor evaluation framework — from defining criteria through to a scored comparison and recommendation.
| Category | Weight | Rationale | |---|---|---| | Functional fit | [%] | Does it do what we need? | | Commercial terms | [%] | Price, flexibility, payment | | Implementation | [%] | How hard to get started? | | Support and SLA | [%] | What happens when things go wrong? | | Security and compliance | [%] | Meets regulatory requirements? | | Vendor stability | [%] | Will this company exist in 3 years? | | References | [%] | Who else uses this? |
Weights must total 100%.

Functional: Walk through [most critical use case]. What can your product not do that customers ask for? Commercial: What is included vs add-ons? Contract minimum term and notice period? Price protection at renewal? Implementation: Typical implementation for our size? What do you need from our team? Support: SLA for critical issues? Support included vs charged extra? Security: ISO 27001 / SOC 2 certified? Where is data stored? Breach notification process?
Recommended vendor: [Name] | Score: [X/5] Rationale: [Specific strengths that matter for this decision] Key risks: [Risk and mitigation] Conditions: [Contract terms to negotiate before signing] Runner-up: [Vendor and why they lost]

Activate a 4-stage coding discipline framework that forces Claude to plan before coding, isolate changes on a branch, write tests first, and self-review output twice before presenting it. Use when starting a complex coding task, when past Claude sessions produced broken first drafts, or when you want to prevent rework cycles. Produces a confirmed written plan, isolated feature branch, test-first implementation, and a double-reviewed output with a correctness and code-quality checklist.

Optimize an article for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — restructuring content so AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude can extract, quote, and cite it. Rewrites headings as questions, drops 50-80 word answer capsules, audits paragraph length, and flags trust signals. Use when asked to AEO-optimize, make content AI-readable, improve AI citation chances, or adapt an article for answer engines.
